Ever wished that life would be like the movies? It always has a good ending though it seems like living hell in the beginning. And in movies, everything is possible. It's like good fate always comes by to the hero of the story. And when it comes to love, they always end up together in the end…Have you ever had that wish? That your life would also have a good ending in the end, or the person you like would also fall for you in the end? For one person, it was her dream.

Sakura was lying down her bed. 'What could be his problem?' , Sakura thought remembering how Syaoran looked that afternoon.
You see, Sakura likes Syaoran. In the past, they have been good friends. When they were in elementary, Syaoran was just new to Japan. Sakura was the first friend he met. They got close and eventually became best friends at one point. Syaoran was even Sakura's tutor at some of her studies. But when Syaoran got in the basketball team when they were in their junior high school, the two didn't get much time for each other.
Syaoran was busy with his basketball. So Sakura now spent her time with Tomoyo. During Sakura's 2nd year in junior high school, she decided to go into cheerleading since she was good at it. She got in and showed her best. And during those years, their schedules didn't match so they were not able to talk to each other that much. Sakura was busy during vacation and that's when Syaoran was free of practice.
When they got in senior high school, Syaoran was easily accepted in the basketball team since he was MVP of the junior's tournament. And so was Sakura in her field since she was really good at cheerleading. Now they had their own lives, everything has changed.
Sakura went to her study table and opened her computer. She got online and entered in one of the chartrooms she was usually in. She noticed that Tomoyo was online and so she sent her a message. They were chatting for a few minutes until someone sent Sakura a message. It was from someone named Xiao Lang.
Xiao Lang Hi… Care to talk?
Sakura decided to chat with this guy since she was only talking with Tomoyo.
Cherry Yeah…
Xiao Lang so…How was your day?
Cherry It's like we know each other by the way you talk to me.
Xiao Lang Well, it's better that way than being shy, right? It's easier to make friends this way you know…
Cherry Yeah…You have a point. Ü
Xiao Lang so, how was your day?
Cherry I had the 'typical' kind of day… Nothing special about it… How 'bout you?
Xiao Lang Well…It wasn't that good. I had a bad dream last night. It affected my whole day.
Cherry Well, are you alright now?
Xiao Lang I could say yes. It's just that… People see me differently you know. They see my other side, when the truth is, it's not the real me. Even if my real side wants to get out, I can't just change it 'cause they may think that I'm weak…
Cherry you are in a tight spot. Though the right thing to do is to be yourself, it's still up to you. If I were you, I would just be myself. I wouldn't care about what others think about me, as long as I'm happy with myself. But the truth is, that is kind of my problem as well…
Xiao Lang Why?
Cherry I'm being myself, but I think others think differently of me. They judge me even though they do not know me that much. I trust what my friends tell me, but sometimes, I feel insecure of what others may think…
Xiao Lang Hehehe…well, thanks for giving me an advice for something you even aren't sure of… P
Cherry At least I tried… 3
Xiao Lang Yeah…Thanks… Hehehe… By the way, what school are you in? So I could thank you properly. )
Cherry xx
Xiao Lang Why?
Cherry Well, I'm shy about it…
Xiao Lang C'mon… We may be from totally different schools. It's just so I could meet a new friend… 3
Cherry Ok… I study at Tomoeda High… Sounds familiar?
Xiao Lang REALLY!
Cherry What? Why?
Xiao Lang I go to that school… Hehehe… What a coincidence. I'm a 2nd year senior high student…
Cherry we even have the same level… TT But think about it, there are 200 of us in our level. You could be anyone in that 200 students, right?
Xiao Lang Yeah… Hehehe.. 3
Cherry Any way… I've got to go now. I'll just talk to you sometime. 3 Bye
Xiao Lang Bye! D
Sakura cut her connection as she heard her brother calling for her from downstairs. She quickly ran down, almost stumbling by the stairs, to meet up with the family for dinner. By the time she got there, every one was waiting for her "Late as usual eh?" Touya insulted. "Well sorry," she answered back as she took her seat.
"Ok… Just calm down you two ok?" Their father said. "So let's eat!"

Sakura was in her room, popcorn in hand, watching one of the movies she borrowed from Tomoyo the other day. It was 'A Cinderella Story'. She laughed at the idea that in the story, the main characters started getting to know each other through sending mails to each other. It reminded her of what happened to her earlier. She met someone online and seems to be open to that person.
She soon fell asleep after watching the movie. She fell asleep thinking about the person she just met online that afternoon.

Syaoran was at his room, on his bed, looking at some photos. He laughed at some that tickled his memory. He laughed at one that showed him fall off a swing at the park. He laughed so hard at that one but then stopped when he looked at the next picture. It showed him walking hand-in-hand with his childhood friend, it was Sakura.
He stared at the picture; he stared at Sakura's smiling face. He missed those moments, the time they were always together. He missed their adventures, especially the one when they went ghost hunting at a nearby park. It was in that night that Sakura cried in his arms, the night she held him tightly so that he could protect her from the monsters lurking in that park. It was in that night that he named himself a knight, the one who would be always protecting his princess. It all happened that night…
He held the picture tightly. He could never forget that night, he could never forget Sakura. He threw the picture, sending it to the other side of the room. He was sort of furious. He inhaled deeply and exhaled very hard, just to loosen himself up a bit.
"I'm so damn selfish…"
Then he fell asleep, thinking only of that night when he held her tightly in his arms. The night he discovered that he loves her.
